Shahi Shipping Limited

If you are looking for Shahi Shipping Limited, we are in room 307 of Vyapar Bhavan. It is located on P Dmelo Road, which is basically the main artery for everything going in and out of the Mumbai docks. Because of that, the road outside is almost always blocked with heavy trailers and tankers. You have to be careful just crossing the street to get a snack. Our office on the third floor is a modest setup. We have a few rooms filled with desks, some old filing cabinets that squeak when you open them, and a lot of logbooks. Shipping is a lot of waiting followed by a lot of rushing. We spend hours checking the positions of vessels and making sure the loading schedules are being followed. It can be quite a bit of pressure when a ship is docked and every hour costs money. We are just regular people working here, not some high-flying executives. We talk about the cricket scores while we wait for faxes or emails to come through. The office isn't very quiet, with the traffic noise from P Dmelo Road coming through the windows, but you get used to the hum after a week or two. We just keep things moving and try to stay on top of the paperwork so nothing gets stuck in the system. It is a living, and we’ve been doing it this way for years.
